The children played and played.At last they ran home.They said, "We will see if mother

has come.

She has been gone all day.""I see her," cried May.

"She has something in her hand.It looks like a basket."

"Oh, mother!" cried Mary."What have you? What haveyou? Do let us see!"

Then their mother let them look.And what do you think they saw?Yes, they saw a beautiful bird.It was in a little bird house.It was their bird.It had come to live with them.Their mother said so.

THE RAINY DAY.

One day it was raining, very fast.The grass was very wet.The children had to play

in the house.

"What shall we do?" said Mary."We cannot go out of doors.What shall we do all day?"

"I know," cried Willie.

"We can play with our bird.""Oh, yes! Oh, yes!" cried May.

"Just see him hop about!He is not happy in his house.He wants to come out.He wants to play with us.He will sing for us.Let us open the door.

You will not go away,will you, little bird?"

THE PET BIRDMO'

Then Joim opened the Uttle door.Out hopped the bird.He hopped up on John s hand.He looked this way

and he looked that way.

"He wants something to eat,"said John.

"Here is some bread, Httle bird.Eat it and then sing for us."

The children did not seethat the clouds had gone.

They did not see that the sunwas shining.

But the little bird saw.

He saw the open window.He saw the sunshine and awayhe flew.

He flew and he flew and he flew.He flew to a big tree.

96

Then how he did sing!

He was singing for the children.I think he wanted to say,

"I Uke you, WiUie.

I Uke you, John.

I Hke you, Mary and May.

But I Uke the trees.

I Uke the flowers.

And I like the sunshine, too."

'*Once I saw a Uttle bird

Come hop, hop, hop;So I cried, ^Little bird.

Will you stop, stop, stop?'

And was going to the windowTo say, 'How do you do?'

But he shook his little tail,

And far away he flew."97

ABOUT THE BOOK.IT

has come to be the accepted thing for School Readers to bebased on the lives of great writers and selections from their works,accompanied by portraits of authors and pictures of their homes.

The emphasis is being rightly placed on " literature." This much is adistinct gain. Literature and art, however, have been so intimatelyrelated through so many centuries and by so many peoples, that it issurprising that they have not been more closely related in education.To teach a child to interpret and appreciate good art is quite asdesirable as to teach him to read and enjoy good literature.

"The Art-Literature Readers" lepresent an attempt to relate artand literature in a series of graded Readers for school use. Thebasis of the series is a collection of the choicest literature, the

gathering of which has occupied several years of painstaking search.

The effort has been to discover in the works of the best writersselections that are literary units, and which possess distinct dramatic

and inspirational qualities. Selections that have not been used ininnumerable readers have been given the preference. These selectionsare accompanied by anecdotal biographical sketches and portraits ofthe leading authors. It is hoped that as literary readers they will befound to possess freshness and the power to hold the child's interest.

The distinguishing feature of the series, however, is the introduc-tion of portraits and biographical sketches of artists with reproductionsof their most famous works. Beginning with Book II., the leadingartists of the different "schools" are taken up, so that the childcompleting the series in the eighth grade will have some definiteinformation regarding the characteristics of the various "schools"and the artists of the different nations.

In the "Art-Literature Primer" the purpose has been to present

f»ictures dealing with child life and children's pets, with text drawnrom them and presented in such a way as to retain the interest andgive training in natural expression. The colloquial form has beenretained wherever possible in the belief that the chief end of oralreading is to make children read as they talk. Wherever possibleeach line is either a complete sentence or a complete phrase. ThePrimer contains nearly 6,ooo words of reading matter, with a vocabu-lary of only 258 words. In piace of distributing the memory selectionsthrough the oook to interrupt the interest of the child, they have beenplaced at the back of the book for the teacher's use.

SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS.THE following suggestions may be of assistance to teachers in

enlarging the work outlined in the lessons of thisbook and .n

making the picture study, as well as the selections atthe back of the

book, of greater value. . u i i » .Before reading the lesson for the day, a few

minutes should oe

soent in talking about the picture upon whichthe lesson is 1 ised.

I? is advisabre to dwell chiefl^ upon .tfestorywhich the p.cture ie s

encourairing the children to express in theirown words what they sec

in the Dictare. This will stimulate theirimagination and teach them

to observe carefully. Much confidence and freedomof

i

m

mW

Pa^es 58-67. Before studying these lessons the teacher should tellthe children about Holland and the quaint but sturdy Dutch people,and read to them parts of "Hans Brinker" by Mary Mapes Dodge, orsome of the stories from "The Land of Pluck" by the same author.The children should be made to realize that they are reading aboutother real children who play and work just as they do.

Pages 68-yg. Prepare the children for the study of these lessons as for

the previous group, by telling them of the life of the French peasantsand of Julien Dupre, the artist who painted so many pictures of them.

Ask questions about the pictures similar to the following: Looklong at the picture on page 75* What is the name of the picture?Why was it given this name? Whom do you see in the picture?Where do they live? What have they been doing? What are theydoing now? Who saw the balloon first? Why do you think so? Doyou see the sunshine? Do you see the shadows? What time of theyear is it? Are the haymakers nearly through with their work?Would the picture be as beautiful without the hills and trees? Do youlike this picture? Can you tell why you like it? Who painted it?

Before taking up the review lesson on page 79, each child shouldbe given one of the pictures referred to to study and be ready to tellall he can about it to the class.

Pages 80-go. This group continues the pictures and stories ofFrench peasants. The boyhood of Millet and his first attempts atdrawing can be made very interesting to the children. For informa-tion on his life see "Jean Francois Millet, Peasant and Painter," bySensier, also "Painters of Barbizon," Vol. I (Great Artists Series).Have before the class reproductions of several of Millet's pictures forthe children to study and talk about. The review lesson on page 90should be treated as was the one on page 79.

Pages gi-gy. These pictures should be studied until the thought ofeach story is worked out, when the reading will be full of animation,the spirit of the story controlling the expression. After reading, thechildren may be allowed to tell the complete story in their own words.

Pages g8-ioj. If possible, show the children reproductions of otherpictures by these artists. If this group of lessons is read near theChristmas season, penny copies of the pictures studied, suitablymounted, form pretty Christmas cards.

When the work of the book is completed, some time might bef)rofitably spent in having each child tell which picture in the book heikes best, why he likes it, and the name of the artist. A reproductionof the picture chosen, mounted on a mat ready for hanging at home,will be a pleasant reminder of the child's first reading book. Thechildren's comments on the pictures, memorized selections, and suit-able songs might form an interesting special exercise.
